I get a single bit of disk activity when I try to boot off the
external drive, so it is at least *trying* to find the 1st stage boot
block.  While I am obviously not 100% certain, my thinking is that
something isn't quite right with the grub config.

Let me see if I can't take a peek at the 1st sector and see what is in there.
